my first HDR

[tsabary]

hey, I'm new here and to photography in general (started slowly getting into it in the past few weeks)

this is my first HDR of my house. shot with NIKON D5000, and proccesed with Luminance HDR. I'd love there what yo think and gett some tipps for improvment.

ok thanks! what sttings should i have changed to make it less cooked? honestly i just played with the settings because i'm still not totaly sure what everything does..

Learning curve...just keep playing but with less saturation. Try some HDR without tone mapping.

Or, you can set your white, black and gray points on this one and start working around with layers, masks and other fun stuff...Unless you are pretty astute in the use of LR, Elements, GIMP or Photoshop, you might want to wait to get into HDR. There's nothing magical about how it all works. it's just another tool used to explore the dynamic range.

That's better, IMO the shadows in the original were too light...so to speak.
